The Dirt Devil Kurv is the successor in the line of Karim Rashid's collaboration with Dirt Devil for stylish handheld vacuums. The Dirt Devil Kone is the other option in the series, with a similar but more angular design. The Kurv is an improvement over the Kone for certain aspects of vacuuming capabilities such as a new suctioning system and having more power (9.6 volts vs 7.2 volts) however, it is still relatively underpowered compared to the Dyson Root 6. Dirt Devil's goal behind the Kurv is for you to have a handheld vacuum that can be put on display, rather than hidden in a closet. The base is integrated into the design, ensuring the vacuum is always charged, making it easy to cleanup quick messes.

I'd get the Kurv over the Kone and it seems like the Dyson is overkill. But if you have a pet that sheds a lot the Dyson is probably a better tool.

I think it's ridiculous that a key feature of a handheld vacuum is its looks. Give me more suction, and make ugly as heck. I'll just throw it in a closet so no one sees it. On top of that there is nothing more frustrating than an underpowered dust buster.
